Jaycar have a VGA to 5 BNC cable for $42.50, if this is the type of cable
you're looking for.

there are three different varieties with 3, 4 and 5 BNC plugs. I can get the
kind I need from a local retailer for $30, thats why i said $12-$20 for a
second hand cable

That's about as good a price as you'll get IMO, chances of a
second-hand one are pretty remote.

They are, I think, fairly rare. I've only ever seen one piece of
equipment that used BNC plugs instead of the VGA connector and that was a
very modern video projector.

My 17" monitor (Viewsonic 17PS 1997) has the 5 BNC connectors as well as
having the 15 pin D-Sub. I haven’t seen any new models using BNC for a
while though.

They don't seem to be very common, but some older high quality monitors used
them.

I have a 17" CTX monitor with both BNC and 15 pin D-sub connector; the
beauty of this setup is that you can connect the same monitor to two
different PCs simultaneously, and toggle which one to display using the
front panel control.

Unfortunately the monitor died several months ago, so I no longer need the
cable; but it has five BNC connectors, not four. Pity.

The Philips 109P Monitors use both DSUB and BNC connectors.
We use these monitors on our new PC's.

what I have is a 17" monitor with 4 BNC sockets (red, blue, green and Csync)
and a female db9 socket. Monitors with 5 connectors are red, green blue,
Hsync and V sync, and monitors with three are red, composite green/csync and
blue. these monitors are "workstation" monitors (as i have learned, a
workststion being a PC built from server comonents but desinged to be a
client).

The reason you see BNC sometimes on new video gear is that they can
double as component video inputs from a DVD player. Using as my example
the high powered Sanyo video projector mentioned above. Instead of having
2 computer and one video input, each input can take several different
types of device. Input one can be VGA Dsub15 or DVI, input 2 can be
composite, component BNC or VGA BNC, input 3 can be Svideo or composite
etc.

That sounds a lot like one of the old fixed frequency sync on green
monitors that were common with the likes of old Vax workstations. If
it is one of those then it's not worth spending money on if you don't
have a suitable to machine to run it.

what you wnat for it? might look into building a Csync adaptor

I have a 17" Digital monitor with (only) 5 BNC inputs that I'm short of a
cable for. I already repaired and rewired (cut back to break & new VGA Dsub
plug) another cable for another 5 BNC monitor but am baulking at making up a
whole new cable and plugs set for this one ... want to part with it?
